2、I moved to the United States as a teenager. The adjustment to a new place was difficult. But there was major stress in my life at that time ：I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child：art.
Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art
as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.
I was admitted into industrial design. It’s basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question："Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.
Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.
Throughout my career，I’ve picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.
1. What was the author’s biggest problem when first moving to America?
A. The adaption to a new environment.
B. Difficulty in learning a new language.
C. Fathers disapproval of her studying art.
D. The burden of being a communicator.
2. What made the author choose to study art?。

But the concept itself isn ' new at all — in fact, scie ntists have bee n explori ng questi ons about climate cha nge for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhousqgases "goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what wasregulating the earth' s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containingthe heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shi nes through the glass, the in side gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier 'ideas spread, it came to be called “ the gree nhouse effect ".Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhe nius came along, did scie ntists un dersta nd how global warmi ng actually works. After years of work, Arrhe nius determ ined that the level of carb on dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhe nius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiatio n, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhe nius was the first to suspect that burning coal could con tribute to the gree nhouse effect. But Arrhe nius welcomed the warmi ng effect on the pla net. At a lecture later that year, Arrhe nius no ted that creatures of a warmer earth“ might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings".While Arrhe nius ' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scie ntists kept debat ing whetherthe gree nhouse effect was in creas ing un til 1950, whe n researchers fin ally bega n to find stro ng data support ing it. By the end of the 1950s, America n scie ntists had bee n sounding the alarm on the Ion g-term con seque nces of climate cha nge. Climate cha nge research has come a long way since Fourier first described the gree nhouse effect —— still, maybe Arrhe nius should have bee n more careful of what he wished for. 4. What does the underlined word"it " in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. It is easy to carry.C. It is complex to con trol. B. It is unn ecessary to install.D. It is expe nsive to afford. A. The climate change.C. The atmosphere.B. The gree nhouse effect.D. The heat from the sun. 5. When did the scie ntists first find evide nee for the bad effect of global warm ing? A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.6. What ' s the author ' s attitude towards Arrhenius A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. 200 years ago.'wish?D. Ambiguous.CIt ' s com mon kno wledge that the woma n in Leon ardo da Vinci ' s most farainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter /here they sta nd in the room. But this com mon kno wledge tur ns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out atan an gle that '5.4 degrees off to the observer'ejliigltside —f the range that people no rmallybelieve when they think some one is look ing right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstma nn, “ She h oi look ing at you. "This is somewhat ironic, because the en tire phe nomenon of a person 'gaze （凝视）in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “ Mona Lisa effect " . That effect is absolutely real, Horstma nn said. If a pers on is illustrated or photographed look ing straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person ' s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligenee avatars （ 虚拟头像 ）when Horstmann took a long look at the “ Mona_isa " and realizedshe wasn ' t looking at hirT.o make sure it wasn ' t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view imagesof the“ Mona Lisa " on a corsxpie e n.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn ' t sure.It 'possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “ Mona ugateffsas a " just thecool n ame.8. What is gen erally believed about the woma n in the pain ti ng “ Mona Lisa "A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they sta nd.9. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?7. What ' s the main idea of the text? A. Causes of climate cha nge. C. Findings about global warm ing.B. Effects of gree nhouse gases. D. Explorati ons on climate cha nge.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. Toconfirm Horstmann ' s b. eliefB. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. Tocalculate the angle of Mona Lisa . ' s gazeD. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11. W hat can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it ' s cool to coin the term “ Mona Lisa effect ”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers ' judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn awayfrom them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain 'oswner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy ' s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arrgauningadfovertising campaign designedto convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that nu mbers were the key to success, rather than customers ' spending power. Finally, the ow accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover （营业额） .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers ' spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy 's restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people ' s views on pop s. tarsB. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They in flue need the eati ng habits of the audie nee.15. What was Pears on ' s aehieveme nt as a CEO?A. He man aged to pay off Sparrow ' s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a eompa ny.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHelping and supporting others may be key to living a longer and healthier life, according to a new research from the University of Bagel in Switzerland. The findings published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, show that grandparents who care for their grandchildren enjoy longer lifespans. So do old people who care for others within their social networks.Using data from the Berlin Aging Study, the researchers analyzed the longevity(寿命) and caregiving habits of more than 500 old people between the ages of 70 and 103. The study compared grandparents who acted as occasional caregivers with those who did not. It also compared these grandparents with old adults who did not have grandchildren but cared for people within their social networks.Those grandparents who did not play the role of attending to grandchildren were more likely to have diedwithin just five years of the testing period. While those old adults who provided, support to their family lived for an extra seven years on average and those provided support to their social networks lived for an extra four years on average.Although the new study only focused on old adults, it's safe to assume that the health benefits of helping and taking care of others also reach those of all ages. However, it's important to note that too much caregiving often has just the opposite effect. There's a clear link between too much caregiving and a number of negative physical and mental health consequences.1．How many groups of old people are involved in the study?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.2．What does the research show?A．Old people are more likely to support others.B．Grandparents live longer than childless old adults.C．Supporting others prevents diseases of old patients.D．Helping others properly has a good effect on health.3．What does the last paragraph imply?A．Reducing earegiving can avoid bad health.B．It's a good quality of all ages to be helpful.C．Caregiving is not always beneficial to health.D．Mental disorder is often caused by much caregiving.【解析】本文是一篇说明文。

AFOUR BEST BOOKSHOPS IN LONDONLooking for something to read while in London? If so, you’re in luck: the British capital happens to have an incredible collection of bookshops.Daunt BooksAre you going on a trip and want to read a novel or nonfiction book set in the place you’re headed? This bookshop arranges books by country, so it’s eas y to find anything by place. (83 Marylebone High Street. Monday-Saturday: 09:00-19:30; Sunday: 11:00-18:00.)Foyles BooksDig, if you will, the picture: four miles of shelves holding up to 200,000 books. This legendary (传奇的) bookshop is impossible to leave empty-handed. It was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as thebiggest bookshop on the planet. (107 Charing Cross Road. Monday-Saturday: 9:00-21:00; Sunday: 11:30-18:00.) HatchardsIn the year 1797, this London bookshop—the oldest in the city today—first flicked on its lights. It stocks an excellent selection of fiction, nonfiction, history and other genres. (187 Piccadilly Street. Monday-Saturday: 09:30-20:00; Sunday: 12:00-18:30.)London Review BookshopThere’s an excellent selection of h istory, philosophy, politics, new fiction and many other genres here. Plus, there’s a nice cafe in which you can crack open that tome (巨著) for the first time and start reading. (14 Bury Place. Monday-Saturday 10:00-18:30; Sunday 12:00-18:00.)21. Which bookstore was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records?A. Daunt Books.B. Foyles Books.C. Hatchards.D. London Review Bookshop.22. What is special about Hatchards?A. It has a long history.B. It has 200,000 books.C. It has a cafe.D. It has both fiction and nonfiction books.23. Which place should you go to if you want to enjoy reading with a coffee?A. 83 Marylebone High Street.B. 107 Charing Cross Road.C. 187 Piccadilly Street.D. 14 Bury Place.BI’m going to be completely honest. I have no idea how I ended up with this opportunity, I have no idea what I’m doing, but I am very happy to be here.Last summer a friend tagged me in a Facebook post from BBC Earth and encouraged me to apply to the BBC Presenter Search 2018. The assignment was easy and hard, make a video shorter than 60 seconds where you talk about something in science you think is cool. Simple concept, but for me it was challenging as I want to talk about bryophytes(苔藓植物) forever (which is slightly longer than 60 seconds).So I decided to make an attempt. I was going to make a 60 second video about sphagnum(水苔), commonly known as peat moss and uncommonly known as an unsung climate hero. Sphagnum is the plant genus that holds the most carbon in the world, it slowly builds up its carbon storage over hundreds of thousands of years and if undisturbed, they never let go of the carbon they gathered.Making a short video on this was hard because I wanted to include everything. And it became even harder as Ihad no one to hold the camera. I tied my camera to the scrawniest little tree, swinging in the wind as a bird tried to chase me away from the mud. This chaos ended up as the video “Why sphagnum is awesome” on my channel. I submitted the video, but didn’t dare to write in the de scription section of the video that it was a submission, because I never imagined that I could win!But I did.I waited two months before I could tell people that I had won the search, and when the news came out, I received the most attention I’ve had in m y entire life.No matter your background, whether you want to pass the time or pass an exam, I really hope you enjoy the video!24. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 1?A. She is uncertain about the result.B. She gets used to telling people lies.C. She is unable to achieve the goal.D. She knows much about the ending.25. Which of the following is NOT true about sphagnum?A. It can form its carbon storage in a very slow way.B. It is universally recognized as an unknown climate hero.C. It won’t release the carbon without being disturbed.D. It contains a large amount of carbon.26. The underlined word “scrawniest” in Paragraph 4 probably means ___________.A. weakestB. strongestC. shortestD. most energetic27. What can we learn from the author’s story?A. She shows great interest in filming the video.B. Her knowledge helps overcome all the difficulties.C. Her attitude and hard work pay off eventually.D. She is more than delighted to gain the most attention.CIf we want a fair sho t at transitioning to renewable energy, we’ll need one critical thing: technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa (反之亦然).Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, theywould help make it possible—or at least more affordable—to run the world on renewables.The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States: in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesn’t match the supply from solar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home.Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balancing the financial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by transforming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers (电解器) do this by using electricity—ideally from solar and wind power—to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts (催化剂) to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.“They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston. Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.28. What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph?A. Its universal use remains to be seen.B. It is more expensive but more practical.C. It can transform more renewable energy.D. It is the most advanced around the world.29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The rapid development of American technologies.B. The potential market for energy transformation technologies.C. The history of energy transformation technologies.D. The lack of power in California.30. What may the researchers focus on next?A. Lessening costly batteries.B. Increasing the efficiency of the two reactions.C. Looking for one shared catalysts for the two reactions.D Breaking down water into a carbon-free fuel without using electricity.31. What is Haile’s attitude to the future of the new device?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Critical.D. Cautious.DTake a walk through Washington and you’ll find plenty of marble memorials(纪念碑). But is that what the future of the memorial-rich city holds? If the winners of a new design competition have their way, probably not.The Memorials for the Future design competition invited submissions (意见书) from teams throughout the world. Though, the memorials selected won’t actually be built in the city, they were intended to start a discussion about how to think of memorials in a very different future.Climate Chronograph, the winning project by Team Azimuth Land Craft, greatly departs from memorials as we know them. The project memorializes the harmful effects of climate change by suggesting a memorial at Hains Point, a spot between the Potomac River and Washington Channel. Just 100 years ago, the man-made island was part of the river. It came into existence after the National Park Service decided to turn the confluence(合流点) of the waters into a tidal basin to protect the nearby National Mall from floods.Those floods are expected to come more and more often as the climate changes. Climate Chronograph will memorialize those changes by planting cherry trees as a kind of tidal gauge(潮位计) that can be used by future visitors to determine just how much water levels have risen.The other winning projects include a project that frees mechanical parrots that fly over the Jefferson Memorial and collect and retell stories about monuments，a podcast (播客) platform that puts immigrant stories on public transportation, and an interactive memorial that brings national parks to the D. C. Metro. The competition also produced a report that points to ways America can better memorialize the things that matter—strategies that could help cities save money and space.That’s good news, especially given that D. C. ’s iconic Mall has been closed to new construction. The memorials of the future won’t just turn collective memories toward the stories of new phenomena and groups like climate change and immigrants. Rather, it seems that they’ll make use of space in new creative ways—nomarble needed.32. What is the purpose of the design competition?A. To select the best design team.B. To find new uses for old memorials.C. To design new memorials for Washington.D. To explore new ways of experiencing memorials.33. What can be used to replace the underlined word “departs” in Paragraph 3?A. DiffersB. BenefitsC. SuffersD. Learns34. What do we know about Climate Chronograph?A. It will be located in a park.B. It will be built after the competition.C. It clearly shows the effects of climate change.D. It uses high-tech equipment to measure climate change.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. A memorial to a sad future.B. Marble memorials are out of date.C. Climate Chronograph, memorial for our future.D. What will the memorials of the future look like?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe Fennec fox is also known as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert. It is the smallest of the species of foxes, and quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance. However, this is very rare, as it needs special care and attention. Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox, including its physical appearance, natural habitat, and diet.Physical AppearanceThe Fennec fox is the smallest type of fox, with a body length of about 9.5－16 inches, and 6inchlong ears. It weighs only around one kilogram. It has a creamcolored, furry body, with a blacktipped tail.Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size, which not only provide them with great hearing, but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool. Moreover, in order to walk on the hot sand, a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur. Not only that, the feet also help in digging, as this animal lives under the ground.Habitat and LifestyleThe habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert, and also in other parts of North Africa. The Fennec fox is usually active during the night. This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.As an extremely social animal, it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land. This animal is, however, aggressive too, ready to attack, especially in the mating (交配) season, when they all compete with each other for a mate.DietThe Fennec fox is an omnivore (杂食动物). While it can survive on plants, it also needs other items such as insects, rabbits, birds and eggs. Getting used to living in the desert allows it to survive for long periods without any water. They are known to take in water when eating food, but will drink water if available.21．What helps the Fennec fox survive in the desert?A．The small body size.B．The great hearing.C．Getting active at night.D．Living in groups.22．The word “radiate” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.A．send out B．take inC．suffer from D．turn down23．What can we learn about the Fennec fox in the passage?A．It seldom attacks others.B．It's difficult to raise it as a pet.C．It can survive without any water.D．It's the smallest animal in the desert.BDaban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth (神话) in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were lots of dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made. It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10,000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some driedup rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds (小丘) which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries.24．The first person setting foot in Loulan in the 20th century was ________.A．a European B．an AmericanC．a Chinese D．a Japanese25．Before Loulan disappeared, ________.A．there was no government in that areaB．people from America and Japan had been thereC．a lifeless area with lots of mounds could be easily seen thereD．much business between the East and the West had taken place there26．What can be inferred from the text?A．Loulan was destroyed by the terrible weather there.B．Wars between the countries made Loulan disappear.C．Too many people gathered in Loulan and destroyed it.27．What makes so many people visit the Loulan Kingdom now?A．Its pretty girls.B．Its developing business.C．Its mystery.D．Its beautiful scenery.CInternational pressure may be the only way to stop the Brazilian government from taking a “suicide” path in the Amazon, one of the country’s most respected scientists has said, as the world’s biggest rainforest continues to be destroyed by thousands of deliberate fires.The large number of fires— set illegally to clear and prepare land for crops, cattle and buildings– has resulted in the state of Amazonas to declare an emergency, created heavy smoke clouds that have drifted hundreds of miles, and raised international concerns about the destruction of a carbon sink, which refers to the use of plant photosynthesis （光合作用）to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.On Wednesday, the UK trade minister Conor Burns was shaking hands with his counterparts in Brasilia and declaring a desire to “deepen relations”. Asked about the fires, he declined to comment but reportedly said Bolsonaro’s government had ambitions to bring prosperity to its people.Scientists say the ongoing destruction will have serious consequences for Brazil and the world.Carlos Nobre, a senior researcher with the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo, said the increase in cutting down forests was taking the rainforest closer to a tipping point beyond which the usually humid forest would become an extremely dry place, with serious consequences for the climate, wildlife and forest creatures.Nobre said destruction of forests was on course to rise by 20-30% this year and was “very likely” to pass 10,000 sq km for the first time in more than 10 years. The trend has been worsening for several years, but it has accelerated under Bolsonaro, who has weakened the environment agency and expressed support for miners, farmers and loggers.Nobre表示，今年森林砍伐率预计将上升20-30％，并且很可能在十多年内首次超过10,000平方公里。

The regular world presented to us by our five senses﹣you could call it reality 1.0﹣is not always the most user﹣friendly of places． We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don't understand． So why not try the improvedversion: augmented reality （AR） or reality 2.0? AR technology adds computer﹣producedimages on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses．Early forms of AR are already here． With the right downloads, smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest． But that's just the beginning． A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely． You will not only see that there's a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of ________．This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface （界面）between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet． Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you．Let's jump ahead to ten years from now． A person trying to fix their car won't be reading a book with pictures; they will be wearing a device that projects animated 3﹣D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step﹣by﹣step guidance．The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses． But in ten years' time these will have been replaced by contact lenses （隐形眼镜） with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of the eye． So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying．The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality worlds, how will we be communicating with each other?（1）What does the text mainly talk about？________A The next information technology revolution．B Early forms of augmented reality technology．C The differences between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0．D The relationship between people living in reality 2.0．．（2）What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 2？________A The menu．B The block．C The revolution．D The restaurant．．（3）What are tiny LEDs used to do？________A Protect people's eyes．B Show text and images．C Warn users of dangers．D Replace video glasses．．（4）What's the author's attitude towards AR technology？________A Doubtful．B Disapproving．C Favourable．D Ambiguous．4. Even though vaccination （接种疫苗） is a powerful defense against disease, some voices are against it． In a recent letter, the American Medical Association （AMA） urged big social media including Amazon． Facebook and Google to take action to defend medical science on their platforms．It said that vaccine﹣preventable diseases that do harm to the public health Like measles （麻疹）are on the rise． Measles cases worldwide jumped more than 30% in 2017 compared to 2016, with the largest increases seen among nations in the Americas, Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean． Vaccine﹣preventable diseases are increasing largely because many people are unwilling to get vaccinated． And some of these people evenencourage others to refuse vaccination． So this year, the World Health Organization （WHO） declared the anti﹣vaccination movement a top10﹣health threat．"Vaccination is one of the most cost﹣effective ways of avoiding disease ﹣ it currently prevents 2﹣3 million deaths a year, and a further 1.5 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved, " WHO said．A research article published in 1998 in a medical journal suggested a link between a vaccine and the development of autism （孤独症） in young children． Although the research has been suspected and many other studies have proved that vaccinations do not cause autism, the article is still impressing people strongly today． Another reason for the growth in the anti﹣vaccination movement is widespread misinformation on social media, which can turn people against vaccination． If a concerned parent consistently sees information in their Newsfeed that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines, it could cause them to disregard the advice of their children's physicians and public health experts and refuse to follow the recommended vaccination schedule． So access to true information about vaccine safety is badly needed．（1）What does the AMA require social media to do on their platforms？________A Stop vaccine misinformation．B Unite to develop new vaccines．C Give up the anti﹣vaccination movement．D Introduce Vaccine﹣preventable diseases．．（2）Why does the author mention the measles cases？________A To declare measles can be prevented．B To show the result of anti﹣vaccination．C To prove some countries refuse vaccination．D To explain the reason for avoiding vaccination．．（3）Which of the following play an important role in the anti﹣vaccination movement？________A The costs of vaccination．B The social media platforms．C The concerns of vaccine safety．D The articles about autism．．（4）Where is this text most likely from？________A A novel．B A brochure．C A diary．D A magazine．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.
